The Minority in Parliament is opposing what it says are attempts by Government to introduce more tax waivers.

The MPs argue that the development, if allowed, will only favour a select few and not the ordinary Ghanaian.

The Minority says it has identified a ₵7 billion tax exemption the government intends to introduce under the guise of One District, One Factory, which it believes will benefit government cronies.

Ranking Member on the Trade and Industry Committee and MP for Bole Bamboi, Yusif Sulemana, speaking to journalists, said the minority will kick against the waivers.

He questioned why government is bent on giving out up to ₵12 billion in tax waivers to cronies while ordinary citizens are taxed excessively.
